Call me on my cell phone. Call me on the walkie-talkie. "At" refers to the destination: Call me at home. (Using my home phone number.) Call me at 800-555-1212.

1. Merriam's full definition of pending is "while awaiting <pending approval>". This seems to me to be referring to something that has already been started, completed, and is only awaiting confirmation. – Ben. Oct 4, 2015 at 1:06. 1. That's only one example.
